ABSTRACT

The invention refers to a bodysuit used for babies or children up to 2 years old. The bodysuit consists of a fixed upper part (A) and an adjustable lower part (the panty) (B), the latter having two lateral openings (C, D) for the baby&#39;s/child&#39;s legs, bordered by two elastic strips (C 1,  Di) and on its backside several horizontal folds (E) created through vertical seams (F) done with elastic thread, which allow the panty to expand in length and width, depending on the baby&#39;s/child&#39;s size. Above the vertical seams there is a horizontal seam (G) done in elastic thread, which ensures the flexibility of the bodysuit in width and, furthermore, it fits the bodysuit closer to the baby&#39;s body. The bodysuit with extendible panty generates important savings in the parents&#39; budget, as it can be used for a longer period than regular body suits, the size of the extendible panty being adjustable in length and width.

The present invention refers to a bodysuit with extendible panty whichcan be used for babies and children up to 2 years old.

PRIOR ART

currently bodysuits are made for various sizes, depending on the baby'sage; the standard age interval for these products is 3 months (e.g.,bodysuit for babies aged 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months, etc.). Theyare made of two parts (front-back) that are joint by studs in the lowerpart. Their disadvantage is that the strip around the leg is notelastic, thus it does not mould to the baby's leg, and due to friction,irritates the skin on the baby's leg all around; this rash heals withdifficulty, in time.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a bodysuit with anextendible panty for children of various ages and sizes, which can beused for age intervals that exceed the standard intervals of theproducts that are already on the market, without the need to purchase alarge number of clothing items while the child is growing.

The bodysuit with extendible panty, used for babies and children, ismade of a fixed upper part (A) and a lower part, the panty (B), with twolateral openings (C, D) for the baby's legs, bordered by two elasticstrips (C₁, D₁). On its backside, the panty has several horizontal folds(E) created through the effect of vertical seams (F) done with elasticthread, which allow the panty to extend depending on the baby's size.Above the vertical seams there is a horizontal seam (G) done withelastic thread, which ensures the flexibility of the bodysuit in widthand, furthermore, it fits the bodysuit closer to the baby's body,preventing the entrance of the air.

We specify that the bodysuit is made in one piece, but only fordescription purposes we have divided it into: fixed upper part and lowerpart—the panty.

The invention has the following advantages: increases the baby's/child'scomfort, because the elastic panty moulds on the diaper and on thebaby'/child's body; it prevents skin rashes; it generates importantsavings in the parents' budget, as it can be used for a longer periodthan regular bodysuits, the size of the extendable panty beingadjustable in length and width.

The bodysuit can be made of cotton with elastic properties or of anyother material with equivalent properties, and seams are also done withelastic thread.

Below there is an example of making the invention, related to FIGS. 1and 2, which present a front view of the bodysuit and, respectively, aback view.

According to FIG. 1 (front view), the bodysuit consists of a fixed upperpart (A) and an adjustable lower part (the panty) (B). The lower partcloses with studs, so that the bodysuit could be put on or taken offeasily.

According to FIG. 2 (back view), the bodysuit consists of a fixed upperpart (A) and an adjustable lower part (the panty) (B). In the lowerpart, where the baby's/child's legs go out, there are two openings (C,D) bordered by elastic strips (C₁, D₁) which allow the adjustment of thepanty to the baby's/child's legs, so that the bodysuit would be mouldedto the body. Furthermore, in the lower part there are horizontal folds(E), created through the effect of vertical seams (F) done in elasticthread, whose role is to allow the bodysuit's extension depending on thenecessities of the growing baby's/child's body. Above the vertical seamsthere is a horizontal seam (G) done in elastic thread, which ensures theflexibility of the bodysuit in width and in the same time it fits thebodysuit closer to the baby's body, preventing the entrance of the air.
